As stat wise? Would either be Barbarian or Dwarf for good Stamina stats but Dwarf's have the edge to defend against magical attacks too. Both Stamina and Wisdom starting out at 25 gives them better stats to tank, but then again Barbarians also do have better Agility... >.>
But, for evil Troll all the way, with 30 Stamina to start out with and 17 Wisdom (not gonna be tanking to many magical creatures anyways).
